2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Vent controls

[drrhoades]

Could someone please post the diaagram for the vent controls. The face vent wont work and it is stuck on feet and defrost and I need to get it fixed. Hopefully it is just a loose or boroken vacuum line if that is what it is controlled with.



Thanks

Also any info on getting the dash apart would be appreciated. i havent looked at it yet but I dont think it will be that hard but any tips will always help.

If it is stuck in one position, it probably has either a bad vacuum switch or a bad vacuum motor (brake).



To get at the parts ('94-'97) remove the ashtray and cup spiller. Remove the 2 screws behind each and remove the brackets that are held on.



Now to remove the vacuum switch, there are 4 (I think) screws holding it in place.



-OR-



Remove the dash panel under the steering wheel. On the side of the HVAC assembly the vacuum harness is attached and also has a junction. This is a handy place to check the vacuum brakes that you can see and you will be able to determine the colors of each vacuum hose.



Be forwarned: the manual claims that you have to remove the HVAC assembly to change any vacuum brakes other than the def. I think you might be able to get the floor brake if you get creative.



The best resource for this is a FSM (factor service manual) and you really should have one if it gets beyond a vacuum brake you can easily change or a switch. Good luck.
